What you said makes you the Taliban without the murder and violence. There are about 5 billion non Christians in the world and according to you they are all lesser people not worthy of respect. That is an anti American and bigoted thought process. I am a Hindu that admires Christianity and think it has created massive prosperity and human emancipation in the world. I went to Catholic schools growing up and almost all my friends are devout Christians.

However to refuse to acknowledge that other people can have their own path to salvation and have a happy productive life following their religious beliefs is total bigotry. What ever happened to live and let live. You can try and influence other people to your way of thinking but trashing everyone else as a lesser human being is not what God intends for you to do.

I'm not trashing anyone as a lesser human being Maneesh. I respect Indian people as much as any other race including my own, which I freely admit has a very poor record of human kindness and compassion for others less fortunate.

But according to the Judeo-Christian bible, which I firmly believe is the inerrant Word of the only true God, I cannot and do not respect or admire any other religion. According to the Word of my God, all religions other than Christianity and Judaism are false and the products of Satanic deception.

I'm sorry that you and other Hindus on this thread are so put out by my belief on this issue, but I didn't intend it to be personally offensive. If you or any other Hindu, Buddhist, Shintoist, whatever, had been taught from your youth and are firmly convinced that all other religions are blasphemous to the deity of your religion, I think that you would not be able to respect Christianity as a viable religion.
